Importance of Detox

Detox diets are said to eliminate toxins from the body, improve health and is also a way to promote weight loss. Detoxing one a week, flushes out the toxins from our body.

A daylong detox plan

• Start off the day with lemon juice in hot water
• On the day of detoxing, an intense workout is discouraged, but few minutes of energizing yoga is recommended for keeping the body warm and blood flowing
• Smoothies or juices can be taken for breakfast
• A fiber-rich apple, or a pair of blueberries with probiotic-filled Greek yogurt can be taken for a little snack before lunch
• Keeping active during the day is a key; taking short walks or stretching or desk exercise in between office hours are effective
• For lunch, a bowl of soup or salad along with some lean protein would work
• A cup of green juice would work well as an evening snack
• A healthy dinner full of lean protein and fresh veggies is recommended
